I just play $100 on straight bets for full games. If they are half bets or parlays normally $20-$25. No changing units for me. Just $100 across the board. I found that when I changed units I would win the small plays and lose the big plays.

quote:Since my last stupid question might not have been so stupid, let me try again.

I thought sports gambling was illegal outside of certain states. Is sports gambling similar to online poker? Are there any ramifications if you get caught?

5 Dimes seems to be the pick of the board. How do payouts work with them? Is there a minimum on what it takes to open an account?

Thinking about throwing a couple hundred in since I have learned you can bet with as little as $1.25. Just trying to get some info.

i've been with 5dimes for at least 3 seasons now and have cashed out every season. i would say i've cashed out about 6-7 times total and the only problem i ever had was the first one when i tried to do a bank draft.. never ever do that because the funds get sent to a 3rd party to distribute to the banks and this time the 3rd party ran off with the money.. so many ppl were waiting on money for months but 5dimes funded the account back once they realized that they were had. but ever since then i have done money gram withdrawls and its so easy its awesome. once a month you get a free withdrawl but after that its 20 bucks. but cash in hand and no trail makes me

A unit for me is 30 dollars, I flat bet though. I also bet 8-9 games a night. I am not sure it's better to bet a high volume with low units or bet a low volume with more units on the games you really like.
